How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

"I came as promised."

Gu Mo shouted loudly into the den.

At this time, several dark shadows rushed out from inside and tied Gu Mo up. He did not resist at all.

After making sure he was tied up tightly, they searched him again before they felt comfortable bringing him into the temple.

When we arrived at the den, we saw a red-haired man sitting inside with a large blood-red ring knife next to him. His chest was exposed and he looked very arrogant.

"Haha, Sword Saint, do you still remember who I am?"

The red-haired man stood up and asked Gu Mo in front of him.

Gu Mo took a look at the blood-red ring knife in his hand and recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

"Blood Ring Knife, you are from the Blood Knife Sect."

"That's right. Do you still remember the tragedy that happened in the Blood Blade Sect?"

The red-haired man showed a ferocious expression, and his eyes were filled with endless hatred when he looked at Gu Mo.

"The Blood Blade Sect committed many evil deeds, and it deserved its destruction in the end. It's a pity that I spared your life and didn't kill you all."

Gu Mo shook his head and said that he had personally destroyed the Blood Knife Sect, but when he saw the baby in his arms, he hesitated and finally chose to let him live.

The red-haired man in front of him was exactly the baby whose life he had spared that year. Now that he had grown up, he came to seek revenge on him.

Gu Mo looked at the other party with a cold expression, his eyes were not afraid at all, he said coldly:

"Where's Mo Li? Where is she? I want to see her."

"Haha, well, before you die, I will kill her in front of you, so that you can personally experience the pain of losing a loved one, hahaha!"

"Someone, bring that woman out to me!"

Chapter 236 Father and Daughter Recognize Each Other

"come out!"

A petite figure was brought out with her hands tied and thrown in front of Gu Mo.

Gu Mo looked at the girl curled up in front of him and couldn't help but cried out in pain:

"Mo Li, how did you become like this?"

Mo Li was seen with wounds all over his body, messy hair, dirty face, and he was trying hard to stand up with his hands on the ground.

"This girl is too stubborn. I asked her to tell me your whereabouts, but she refused to tell me. So I made her suffer a lot."

The red-haired man at the side said coldly that the girl was very stubborn and refused to cooperate, so she had to suffer some physical pain.

But in order to let Gu Mo also experience the pain of losing a loved one, he did not choose to kill Mo Li, but spared her life and then killed his daughter in front of Gu Mo.

Following Mo Li's clue, they found the hiding place of Sword Saint Gu Mo. Back then, the Sword Saint slaughtered the entire Blood Knife Sect, but did not kill the red-haired man who was still an infant.

"Mo Li, are you okay? I'm sorry... I hurt you."

Gu Mo looked at the scarred girl in black in front of him and felt extremely sad, but his hands were tied and he couldn't go forward to pick her up.

At this moment, Gu Mo felt extremely regretful. The biggest mistake he made back then was to show mercy to the enemy and let the enemy's descendants go.

But he forgot one thing: the hatred for killing one's relatives is irreconcilable. The descendants of those enemies he let go in the past will come to him for revenge one day when they grow up.

This is also the reason why Gu Mo did not dare to recognize Mo Li. He knew that the descendants of his enemies have grown up now and will definitely come to seek revenge on him. He did not want to implicate Mo Li.

But he still made a fatal mistake, which was to give Yue'er's relics to Mo Li, causing Mo Li's identity to be recognized by the descendants of his enemies.

Now Gu Mo feels extremely regretful. These were all the mistakes he made back then and had nothing to do with Mo Li. All retribution should be directed at him. Mo Li... is innocent.

At this moment, Mo Li forced herself to open her eyes, which had dimmed a lot. She looked at the man in front of her and said to him in a weak voice:

"Uncle Gu...just go...don't worry about me...they can't beat you."

Up to now, Mo Li was still kept in the dark. She only felt that it was because of her that Uncle Gu was implicated and arrested.

She knew that Uncle Gu was very powerful and these people were no match for him, but because of her own reasons, Uncle Gu didn't dare to take action, which made her feel extremely guilty.

"Little girl, do you know who this person is?"

The red-haired man pointed at Gu Mo who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly became interested, laughing:

"Hahaha, this is so funny. His daughter is right in front of him, but he doesn't dare to come out and recognize her. Is the great Sword Saint Gu Mo just a coward?"

"what!"

Hearing the other party's words, Mo Li couldn't help but freeze in place. His dim eyes looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in disbelief, and he murmured:

"Uncle Gu... is he my father?"

However, in Mo Li's impression, her parents had died when she was born. She was an orphan since childhood and had never seen her parents.

But now someone suddenly told her that her father was still alive, right in front of her, and he was Uncle Gu, whom she had always admired?

"Uncle Gu...why didn't you...tell me?"

Mo Li looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. If that was the case, why didn't he tell her from the beginning...

Facing Mo Li's question, Gu Mo suddenly felt as if his heart was cut by a knife. He nodded at Mo Li and said in a heavy voice:

"Li'er... I'm sorry, I actually knew your identity a long time ago, but I didn't dare to tell you... because I was afraid that it would implicate you."

Gu Mo actually did this to protect her, but in the end, he ended up implicating her.

After learning that he still had relatives alive, Mo Li's mood became extremely complicated.

The family love she had always longed for was right in front of her, but she hated him for abandoning her, leaving her without any family love since childhood and making her suffer outside.

Why... didn't you recognize her earlier when you were in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

"Woo, woo, let me go!"

At this moment, Mo Li was grabbed by the hair by the red-haired man, and was lifted up from the ground. The red-haired man placed the Blood Ring Knife on Mo Li's fair neck and said in a cold voice:

"Alright, the father-daughter reunion drama ends here. I'm going to start with you, and after I kill you, I'll let you two reunite in the underworld."

"stop!"

Just when the red-haired man was about to take action, Gu Mo stopped him and said to him:

"Let her go. If you have any problem, come to me. I made this mistake alone. She is innocent. Don't involve her in this."

"Innocent, hahahaha, Sword Master, isn't it too late for you to say this now?"

The red-haired man couldn't help but laugh like crazy, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes. He stared at Gu Mo with those eyes full of hatred and shouted at him:

"You know how much pain and suffering I have felt in my heart over the years whenever I think of the tragic massacre of the Blood Blade Sect by you. How could you possibly know? Am I not innocent?"

"..."

Faced with the man's roar, Gu Mo couldn't help but fall into silence.

The red-haired man seemed to think that was not enough, so he said to Gu Mo:

"I have decided. I will not kill her. I will torture her in front of you and let you experience this kind of pain and suffering. I will make your life worse than death!"

After saying that, a hint of evil flashed in the red-haired man's eyes. If you look closely, this girl looks pretty good.

So he dropped the blood ring knife in his hand, immediately untied the rope on Mo Li, and reached out to take off her clothes.

Suddenly, a graceful figure dropped from the sky, and the silver chain around her waist swung out, instantly cutting a deep gash on the red-haired man's outstretched hand.

"who is it?"

The red-haired man was shocked and quickly stepped back, grabbing the blood ring knife on the ground.

Suddenly, the man felt a sharp pain in his hand. He looked closely and found that his palm was cut and he couldn't even hold the knife steadily.

At this time, a black figure fell to the ground, rescued Mo Li, and carried her aside.

This person is none other than Tong Xin.

"Uncle Gu, go on."

Tongxin threw the meteorite sword in her hand to Gumo who was standing beside her.

Seeing that Mo Li was rescued, Gu Mo no longer had to endure it. He gathered all his energy and directly broke the ropes tied to his body, and at the same time caught the long sword thrown by Tong Xin.

Before coming here, Gu Mo informed Xu Chengling about this matter.

This matter cannot be handled by him alone, he must rely on the help of the master.

So Xu Chengling came up with a plan, having Gu Mo hold the other party back, while Tong Xin sneaked in and took the opportunity to rescue Mo Li, so that Gu Mo would have no worries.

Gu Mo held the meteorite sword tightly in his hand and walked slowly towards the red-haired man in front of him.

His footsteps were heavy, and each step hit the ground like a hammer, ringing in the red-haired man's ears.

At this moment, Gu Mo finally figured out one thing.

His previous avoidance failed to solve any problems and even implicated Mo Li.

Now, he decided to face up to the mistakes he made in the past, no longer avoid them, but to make a fresh conclusion.

Gu Mo looked at the red-haired man in front of him, with murderous intent in his eyes, and said in a cold voice:

"And you...deserve to die!"

Chapter 237: Casting a Mace into a Sword

With a wave of his hand and without any hesitation, a head fell at the feet of the red-haired man.

The red-haired man's eyes were wide open. Under the absolute suppression of the realm, he didn't even have the slightest chance to resist, and couldn't even see the other party's movements.

Back then, the Sword Saint Gumer forged his sword into a mace in order to obtain an extremely heavy weapon to suppress his own strength, and also to warn himself to retire from the world and never take action again.

Although the iron mace is powerful, it also limits the speed of the Sword Master. When the Sword Master is at his peak, even a leaf can be turned into a deadly weapon due to the Sword Master's absolute speed.

Back then, Gu Mo was able to massacre the entire Blood Knife Sect. Now, for him, killing the red-haired man is as easy as killing an ant.

As he grew older, Sword Saint Gumer clearly felt that his strength was not as good as before, and his movements became much slower, but years of using the iron mace allowed him to maintain his peak strength.

"Sure enough, the sword is more convenient to use."

Gu Mo flicked the sword lightly, and the blood on the sword splashed onto the ground without leaving any bloodstains. He held the sword, and the familiar feeling from that year came back again.

Before that, Tongxin had already dealt with everyone outside, and Gumo had also dealt with everyone inside.

After dealing with everyone, Gu Mo returned to Tong Xin and looked at Mo Li in her arms. His sharp eyes suddenly softened a lot.

Her breath was very weak. Seeing her suffering, Gu Mo felt distressed and asked:

"Li'er, are you okay?"

Mo Li in Tong Xin's arms opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at Tong Xin in front of him, then looked at Gu Mo beside him, and his mood became extremely complicated.

She gently pushed Tong Xin away with her hand, but she couldn't even stand steadily, but still pretended to be strong and said:

"I...I'm fine, let me go, I have to go."

After saying that, Mo Li prepared to leave.

But she was so badly injured that she had no strength to move. Her vision suddenly went dark and she fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Tongxin pulled her back in time.

"Tong Xin, how is she?"

Gu Mo stood aside, looking at the seriously injured Mo Li, and asked with great concern.

Tong Xin placed two fingers under Mo Li's nose. Her breath was very weak, but fortunately she was still alive.

"She is seriously injured, but she is still breathing. We must bandage her wounds quickly."

Tong Xin said, Gu Mo understood and left.

After Gu Mo left, Tong Xin fed Mo Li a Huanyuan Pill, which can regulate qi and blood and speed up the body's recovery.

Then, she bandaged Mo Li's wound and took her out of the ruined temple.

At this time, the dilapidated temple was filled with corpses inside and outside, and everyone was lying in a pool of blood.
